My favorite chinese ghost story is back for more sequel :) Though Liu Yi Fei is not as good as Joey Wong, Yu Shao Qun is not as good as Leslie Cheung, but this movie did pulled out the good memory of mine when watching the old 3 sequels.

This time they have more computer & graphic effect on the movie, but the characters did not bring out the devilish feeling inside. Though Kara look devily, but not as good as Liu Zhao Ming in the past~ Louis Koo definitely bring out the character of Yen in this movie, bravo !!!
